A Cuyahoga County jury found that an attorney committed malpractice, and awarded the former client $6.4 million dollars in compensatory damages. The attorney represented the wife in a divorce action. As part of the divorce action, the attorney drafted a loan agreement where the wife would receive the business and owe the husband $930,000, to be paid within two days. The wife's financing fell through, allegedly because of interference by the attorney. The wife borrowed the money from the attorney's father via a loan agreement drafted by the attorney. The attorney failed to tell the wife that the attorney's father would obtain control of the company pursuant to the loan agreement. The attorney was representing his father in other matters at the time. See Ex-client Wins $6 Million Judgment by James F.
